Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation consisting of 25 trenches was carried out on land off Eachwell Lane, Alfreton, Derbyshire, in advance of a large-scale residential development. The proposed development site includes part of an archaeological site recorded on the DHER: record 16201 (Ironworks (site of), Damstead Wood, Alfreton) is the site of a medieval bloomery ironworks, dam and mill pond that was active between c. 1565 and 1615. Although much opencast coal extraction has taken place in the vicinity of the site, it was thought not to have impacted the site itself. A series of short parallel linear features where excavated in trenches 2, 20, 21, 22 and 23 which contained a broadly homogenous fill of black silty coal and have been dated to the 17th-18th century. It has been speculated that these features are the cuts which contained the rail sleepers for a portable track. Trench 6 contained a metalled surface which runs parallel to the NNW-SSE ridge and hedge row which bisects the western side of the site. The metalled surface has been dated contemporaneously with the features mentioned above to the 17th-18th century. These features are likely to be associated with the burgeoning 18th century coal mining of Alfreton.
